The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. None of the sourcing presented convinces me the subject meets WP:GNG, not even through WP:BASIC.

Thanks everyone for your contributions and assuming good faith with this decision. If you have a problem with it, please bring up your concerns at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Thank you and happy holidays! Missvain (talk) 23:25, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable person. Article is promotional, books appear self-published. Reviews of plays he was associated with don't even mention his name. I did find a BBC interview, but not enough to meet GNG. User:力百 (alt of power~enwiki, π, ν) 19:08, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
